The College of Engineering gives public recognition to its outstanding undergraduate students by awarding Dean’s Honors at the end of each regular academic term to students who have earned a 3.5 grade-point average for the quarter and have completed a program of 12 or more letter-graded units. (Grades of Incomplete or Not Passed automatically disqualify students for eligibility for Dean’s Honors.) The Dean’s Honors List is posted quarterly, and the award is noted quarterly on the student’s permanent transcript.

Graduating students of the College of Engineering who have achieved distinguished scholarship while at the university may qualify for Honors, High Honors, or Highest Honors at graduation.
